Hi, I was prescribed Evorel Sequi 50 in June and they have been great for me so far. Felt I was back to my old self mood and anxiety wise, and felt lighter with life in general (also maybe placebo effect?). I had a ‘period’ for the first couple of months after I’d finished the 2nd round of patches and then one month of a very light bleed in between, read up that no investigation would be done unless it continued for 6 months, so left it at that and periods have continued to be very light, which isn’t a massive concern, I don’t think.
I had a review with the pharmacist and mentioned the unexpected bleed and he noted it but also prescribed me a further 6 months and will review with me again then.
However, I feel my mood has plummeted again, I’m not sure if it’s the stresses of this time of year. I feel Christmas is more of a chore these days that’s mainly left to me to organise (but that’s another thread), and that I might need something more?
I don’t want to go back to the GP without knowing what I am asking for, as his manner can be quite brusque and I can’t seem to find info about whether I can increase from Evorel sequi 50 to a higher dose (I have to have patches due to my medical history). Is there a higher dose and if so has anybody got any experience of whether it helped with anxiety and mood?
TIA.
